Can you expand on why? My local shop has a VS2 can't remember the price though..

Because by just getting the new gun, you save the upgrade on the ETrigger and the Barrel kit. thats say, 125 dollars there saved.
When you buy the VS2 it is electric, is a better gun, and it has such better upgrades which you would be wasting your money on for awhile to get to the quality of a VS2.
The VS2 has such upgrades as Eyes, better eframe, better stock barrel, is WAY more efficient...
